Messrs. Noble Smithson and
Laps. D. McCord associated them
selves together in the real estate
business last week and have already
listed some valuable property which
they will endeavor to sell. They
desire to complete an attractive list
of property and they have adopted
measures to advertise it north and
east. They invite property owners
to entrust them with their property.
1t would conduce greatly to the en-
hancement in value of real estate II
all owners would list their proper
ty. They are going to make special
efforts to sell farms also and have
already some inquiry. 1t costs you
nothing to allow them to try TO sell

EDUCATIONAL DEPARTMENT

SOME PRACTICAL POINTS.

Glow to dispose of the water
question: is the second point in
school government to which l wish
to call the attention of teachers.
This is hard question to dispose of,
especially, if you teach school in
warm weather. Some children will
want water every ten or fifteen
minutes through the day. They
are particularly dry just after play
time and want to crowd and jam to-
eether around the water bucket in
way that tries the patience of
the most patient teacher. The
trouble must be managed in natu-
raj and common sense way like the
other question discussed in the last
issue of The CITIZEN. The plan
that will meet the case in the most
reasonable way is the one to adopt.
Stop all going to the water bucket
or giving permission TO get water
during recitation hours and adopt
one of the following plans. First
Immediately after each recess APP
point two pupils TO SO after water
and have it quietly passed around,
giving each pupil a chance to get
water. This need not interfere
with a recitation. Second, and the
better plan, especially if the school
is large, is TO have the water
brought and placed on low shelves
outside Of the school-house. Have
an abundance of dlppers or tin cups
hung on nails along the wall. The
pupils should then be taught to
drink during the recesses and thus
avoid all unnecessary annoyance
during recitation hours. Let them
understand also that if they leave
their seats for drink that you will
not consider it misdemeanor but
they will be required to stay after
school and make up the time.
NONSENSE.
How often do we find in our
common text books such questions
as the following or something SINH.
lar: Suppose dog, wolf, and 6
lion were to devour sheep, the
dog could eat up sheep in al
hour, the wolf in three-quarters o
an hour and the lion in half Oh
hour; now if the lion begins to ea'
one eigth of an hour before the 9th
er tgo, and afterwards all three ca
together, find in what time tht
sheep will be devoured." What i
the use of such nonsense? Some
say "Mental discipline" Well
, granted, but far better mind exer
oises could be gotten from ques
, tons that have some immediate
, bearing on the world as we meet it
We live in real world, not sup
positional one, in which u dog,
wolf, and q lion meet in friendl,

Giles puts up a purse of $500.
| 900 and the first railroad that pass
es under the string takes it! Thai
a big bid and perhaps many OF Vi
are startled at it. Let's figure ;
little:
Giles pays tribute Of 100000 {
year in excessive treights to the L
& N. That is the penalty of isola
ton and it is legitimate. The on
ly escape is through competition
Not only is she ont every year this
vast sum, but she IS pent ap and

and things magnify and values go

cannot deny these facts.
But, you say, we could take that
100000 and invest it in manufac-
turing enterprises in Pulaski, and
railroads would seek US instead oil
us seeking them, and it would dc
the town and country more good
We believe that religiously.
But! But! But! We cannot
get the money for that purpose. 1t
is impossible. No use in .specula.
ting about the impossible. Let's
catch on to the best thing possible
Who is going to oppose it2 Can
our friends up and down the rail
road afford to oppose it? You got
your road and the people in the east
and west came up like men and
paid their part. Now be just. We
are arguing thus to head off oppo-
sition even before the question
comes up. Do not make up your
mind to oppose it until the facts
are all in.
We do not know yet what the
proposition is. Giles county does
not propose to subscribe red cent
unless the road bitches on at both
ends to trunk lines over which the
L. d N. has no control. We would
not give five cents mile for doz-
en- more roads if the l.. 81 n. is tC
control them. That is what is chok
Ing Columbia to death.
The CITIZEN will not favor the
tax levy unless the road goes some
where. 1t ought to go from Shelf
field, through Pulaski and Shelby
vile, and straight out towards The
Cumberland Gap to intersect the
Midland at the Cincinnati South
ern. That gives Sheffield a straight
trunk line to the east. We shall
not oppose the Murfreesboro route,
however, if this is not in sight. W.
are for a railroad now while The
boom is up.
The meeting last Saturday doe:
not commit Giles to any route
The resolution allows US to go any
where and the delegation to Muir
freesboro have plenary powers AMI
they could go on and negotiate t.
90 Tullahom if necessary. We are
after q road and we have put up
purse that there will be a scramble
for.

cessity there will be no dissent

him which all the gold of cart
